Trump visits Mexico

The Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump began his campaign last summer . One of the candidate’s major attacks was on illegal immigrants from Mexico that he described as “rapists” and criminals, and suggested that the Mexican government was sending them. Trump vowed on Wednesday that if he is elected, anyone who lives in the United States illegally would be subject to deportation. In a speech in the border state of Arizona, a few hours after his first visit to Mexico, the candidate said that immigrants seeking legal status would first have to return home and re-apply for re-entry to the country in a lawfully manner.

He also vowed to work hard on the undocumented population in the United States and, based on his “zero tolerance” policy, to quickly deport those who have committed serious crimes. Later, Trump stated that he would triple the number of border patrol agents and that he would create a “deportation task force” to deal with illegal criminals who have evaded justice.

Trump, who was invited by the Mexican president Pena Nieto, hoped that the trip would make him look presidential and show he was willing to deal with serious issues like relations with Mexico. He said that it was a “great, great honor” to be invited to Mexico, a country that he has regularly called “corrupt” and dangerous during his campaign. He also said that he had “tremendous feelings” for Mexican Americans, not only his friends, but his Mexican employees he is proud to employ.
Hillary Clinton, speaking at the American Legion convention in Cincinnati reminded voters Wednesday of her opponent controversial language and warned that he cannot simply make up for a year of insults and insinuations with a quick visit to Mexico and then fly back home again. This is not how it works.

Clinton was not the only one to disapprove Trump’s visit to Mexico. Former and aspiring presidents, opposition rivals and regular citizens were outraged and expressed anger and bafflement at the surprise guest.

Former Mexican president Felipe Calderón, Peña Nieto’s immediate predecessor, said after the news conference that Trump is “a hypocrite” and “a liar.” Are Mexicans “rapists,” he said, referring to Trump’s remarks last year, “or are we a wonderful, marvelous hard-working people,” as Trump said at Peña Nieto’s side? “I don’t believe in him.

I think he’s lying,”Peña Nieto, who is deeply unpopular in Mexico, shocked his country and much of his government by inviting Trump for a personal visit. The invitation, Calderón said, “was a very bad move for Mexicans who learned only late Tuesday that Trump would be visiting. How could a man who has promised to deport millions if he is elected president be welcomed in their capital?
